Joel 2
1 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near—
Ukya mwe ukuk in okasak mwet uh Fineol Zion, inging mutal lun God. Kowos mwet Judah in rarrar! Len lun LEUM GOD apkuranme.
2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like the dawn overspreading the mountains a great and strong army appears, such as never was of old, nor will ever be in ages to come.
Ac fah sie len lohsrlosr ac ohk, Sie len nukla ke pukunyeng sroalsroal. Un locust uh sikme oana un mwet mweun, Oana lohsr matoltol lohsreya fineol uh. Soenna sikyak kain ouiya inge meet, Ac fah wangin pac tok.
3 Before them a fire devours, and behind them a flame scorches. The land before them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is like a desert wasteland— surely nothing will escape them.
Elos kangla ma kap fin acn uh oana in e uh pa esukla. Meet liki elos tuku, acn uh oana Ima Eden, Tukun elos som, acn uh mwesisla. Wangin ma ku in kaingla lukelos.
4 Their appearance is like that of horses, and they gallop like swift steeds.
Elos oana horse uh; Elos kasrusr oana horse in mweun uh.
5 With a sound like that of chariots they bound over the mountaintops, like the crackling of fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army deployed for battle.
Na ke elos srosro fin mangon eol uh, Elos erarak oana kusen chariot; Elos kisassas oana mah pao ke ac firir uh. Elos takla oana un mwet mweun lulap ma akola nu ke mweun.
6 Nations writhe in horror before them; every face turns pale.
Ke elos sikla, mwet nukewa tuninfongla; Mutun mwet nukewa fasrfasrla.
7 They charge like mighty men; they scale the walls like men of war. Each one marches in formation, not swerving from the course.
Elos anwuk oana mwet mweun; Elos fanuk pot uh oana solse uh. Elos nukewa fahsr suwohs nu meet Ac tia kuhfla nu saya,
8 They do not jostle one another; each proceeds in his path. They burst through the defenses, never breaking ranks.
Ac tia pac asinuki nu sin sie sin sie. Elos fahsryang na alukela kutena mwe kutong nu selos, Ac wangin ma ku in tulokunulosi.
9 They storm the city; they run along the wall; they climb into houses, entering through windows like thieves.
Elos yuyak nu in siti uh; Elos fanukya pot uh; Elos fanyak nu fin lohm uh Ac utyak ke winto uh oana mwet pisrapasr uh.
10 Before them the earth quakes; the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness.
Faclu usrusryak ke elos fahsr nu meet; Ac yen engyeng uh rarrar. Faht uh ac malem uh lohsrlosrani, Ac itu uh tila saromrom.
11 The LORD raises His voice in the presence of His army. Indeed, His camp is very large, for mighty are those who obey His command. For the Day of the LORD is great and very dreadful. Who can endure it?
LEUM GOD El ac sapsap nu sin un mwet mweun lal oana pusren pulahl. Un mwet mweun su aksol Arulana pukanten ac fokoko. Ac fuka lupan mwe aksangeng ke len lun LEUM GOD! Su ac fah ku in painmoulla?
12 “Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning.”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nwe ouinge, kowos srakna ku in auliyak Ke lalo, tung, ac mwemelil, Ac foloko nu yuruk.
13 So rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the LORD your God. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion. And He relents from sending disaster.
Lela inse musalla lowos in akkalemye asor lowos; Seya nuknuk mukena srakna sufal.” Foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD lowos. El kulang ac sessesla ke pakoten. El mongfisrasr ac El karinganang wuleang lal. Pacl nukewa El akola in nunak munas ac tia sa in kai.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind Him— grain and drink offerings for the LORD your God.
Sahp LEUM GOD lowos El ac aolla nunak lal, Ac akinsewowoye kowos ke fokin ima puspis. Na kowos fah ku in sifil kisakin wheat ac wain nu sel.
15 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion, consecrate a fast, proclaim a sacred assembly.
Ukya mwe ukuk Fineol Zion; Sapkin in oasr sie tukeni lulap, ac mwet nukewa in lalo.
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the aged, gather the children, even those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.
Eisani mwet nukewa nu sie; Akoelosla nu ke sie tukeni mutal. Usani mwet matu, Oayapa tulik srisrik Ac tulik fusr. Finne mwet ma tufahna payuk an, Elos in filiya lohm selos ac wi pac tuku.
17 Let the priests who minister before the LORD weep between the portico and the altar, saying, “Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not make Your heritage a reproach, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
Mwet tol su kulansupu LEUM GOD Inmasrlon loang mutal ac acn in utyak lun Tempul, Enenu in tung ac pre: “O LEUM GOD, pakomuta mwet lom. Nikmet fuhlela mutunfacl saya in pilesrekut ac aksruksrukye kut Ke elos fahk, ‘Pia God lowos an?’”
18 Then the LORD became jealous for His land, and He spared His people.
Na LEUM GOD El sifil akkalemye nunak lal nu ke acn uh, Ac sifil pakomuta mwet lal.
19 And the LORD answered His people: “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and by them you will be satisfied. I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.
El topuk pre lalos ac fahk, “Inge nga fah sot nu suwos, Wheat, wain ac oil in olive, Ac kowos ac fah mut. Mutanfahl saya ac fah tia sifil aksruksrukye kowos.
20 The northern army I will drive away from you, banishing it to a barren and desolate land, its front ranks into the Eastern Sea, and its rear guard into the Western Sea. And its stench will rise; its foul odor will ascend. For He has done great things.
Nga fah kunauselik un mwet mweun matol se ma tuku epang me, Ac fah lusla kutu selos nu yen mwesis. U se ma fahsr meet ah, ac ukohkyak nu in Meoa Misa, U se ma fahsr etok ah, ac ukohkyak nu in Meoa Mediterranean. Mano misa lalos ac fohlelana acn uh. Nga fah kunauselosla ke sripen ma nukewa ma elos oru nu suwos.
21 Do not be afraid, O land; rejoice and be glad, for the LORD has done great things.
“Acn inima uh, nikmet sangeng, A kowos in engan ac insewowo Ke ma nukewa LEUM GOD El oru nu suwos.
22 Do not be afraid, O beasts of the field, for the open pastures have turned green, the trees bear their fruit, and the fig tree and vine yield their best.
Kosro inimae, nikmet sangeng. Insroan mah uh srunak folfol; Sak uh isus fahko, Ac arulana pus fokin fig ac grape.
23 Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for He has given you the autumn rains for your vindication. He sends you showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
“Mwet Zion, kowos in insewowo, Ac engankin ma LEUM GOD lowos El oru nu suwos. El sot lupan af fal nu suwos ke pacl la. El supweya af se meet ke pacl in taknelik, Ac af se tok ke pacl in kosrani, oana meet ah.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
Nien sisi kulun wheat fah sessesla ke wheat, Luf sisken acn in orek wain fah kahkkakla ke wain ac oil in olive.
25 I will repay you for the years eaten by locusts— the swarming locust, the young locust, the destroying locust, and the devouring locust — My great army that I sent against you.
Nga fah folokonot ma lowos ma tuh musalla Ke yac ma u in locust uh tuh kangla fokin ima lowos. Nga pa tuh supwama u in locust matol ingan in lain kowos.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are satisfied. You will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you. My people will never again be put to shame.
Inge ac fah pukanten ma kowos in kang ac kowos fah kihp. Kowos fah kaksakin LEUM GOD lowos, Su tuh oru ma usrnguk inmasrlowos. Mwet luk ac fah tia sifilpa akmwekinyeyuk.
27 Then you will know that I am present in Israel and that I am the LORD your God, and there is no other. My people will never again be put to shame.
Na mwet Israel, kowos fah etu lah nga oasr inmasrlowos, Ac lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa God lowos, Ac wangin pac sie sayuk. Mwet luk ac fah tiana sifilpa aksruksrukyeyuk.
28 And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
“Tukun ma inge, nga fah okoala ngunik nu fin mwet nukewa: Wen nutuwos ac acn nutuwos fah sulkakin kas luk, Mukul matu lowos fah mweme, Ac mukul fusr lowos fah liye aruruma.
29 Even on My menservants and maidservants, I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
In pacl sac nga fah okoala ngunik Nu fin mwet kulansap pac, kewana mukul ac mutan.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
“Nga fah oru ma sakirik yen engyeng uh ac fin faclu In fahkak ke len sac. Ac fah oasr srah sororla, ac firir lun e, ac pukunyeng in kulasr.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.
Faht uh ac fah lohsrla, Ac malem ac fah srusrala oana srah Meet liki len lulap ac aksangeng lun LEUM GOD ac tuku.
32 And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has promised, among the remnant called by the LORD.
Tusruktu elos nukewa su siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD ac fah moliyukla. Oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, ‘Kutu sin mwet su muta Fineol Zion ac in Jerusalem ac fah tia sun mwe ongoiya inge. Elos su nga sulela fah painmoulla.’”
